I bought this based on the wifi range being much wider. It is slightly wider than my old modem/router but it still is intermittent with our garage door ring camera at the end of the house. Other than that, the speeds and ease of setup are as advertised.
We updated our modem/router with the net gear nighthawk and it made a huge difference in our internet speed! Now we can stream and zoom without any issues.
Have not had stable internet connection since I got the device

The nighthawk router modem was simple to set up and when it works it is gives a solid Wi-Fi signal. Unfortunately it needs to be rebooted several times daily and I am contemplating returning it if I do not find a way to get reliable functionality or it should Auto reset if it has a fallout in network communication.

This modem/router works great. I love the app and easy do it yourself set up. My only gripe is I lost power several times in a row at my home. The modem went offline and automatically reset to factory settings. I had to reconfigure it all from scratch.
